MOORE BROS.

38, London Street, Derby


Messrs. Moore Bros., of 38, London Street, Derby, have about the most " Birmingham " looking entrance to their factory which I have yet seen away from Chamberlainville. The firm are manufacturing jewellers, &c, and to judge by the appearance of their premises, you might be in front of one of the Vyse Street or Hockley firms instead of one at Derby.

MARTIN WILKINSON

Mansfield, Nottinghamshire


Established in 1794 and named Coral, the business was restyled to Martin Wilkinson after he acquired it in the early 19th century. The business has been owned by the Campin family since the acquisition of it by Edgar William Campin the late 1930's, but still retains the Martin Wilkinson name. The current shop has been located at 16, Queen Street since 1974, the owner being Andrew Campin, who has worked there since 1968.

Another separate business, Martin Wilkinson, is based at Newark, Nottinghamshire. Both businesses appear to stem from the original Martin Wilkinson.

..............Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire, 1919 Watchmaker

Charles Stamper later changed to jeweller and watchmaker as indicated by the spoon box silk shown below.



From the silk we see the business was formally that of “E White”. A post concerning “Edward White” can be seen in this same section of our Forum.
